Sheep Husbandry.

At the last session of the Legisla-
ture law relative to ''Sheep Hus-
bandry" was enacted, from which we
make the following synopsis:
''The parish police Juries are au-
thorized to pass such laws and ordi-
nances as they may deem necessary
to encourage sheep husbandry, to
protect sheep from the ravages of
dogs, and to impose such fines and
penalties to enforce such ordinances
as they may deem proper; such fines
and penalties to be recovered and
enforced before any court of compe-
tent Jurisdiction, in the name of the
police jury of the parish.
"a violation of such an ordinance
is made misdemeanor, punishable
by afne not exceeding 800, or thirty
days imprisonment; or both. The
imposition of fine by civil process
does not bar prosecution, neither
does prosecution bar civil proceed
ings to collect a fne
"On petition Of fifty or more tax
payers the police jury of such parish
shall pass such protective ordinances;
also, provide for the destruction of
dogs owned or kept contrary to the
ordinances passed; such destruction
of dogs being at the expense of the
parish.
''No person shall be liable for dam
ages for killing dogs kept contrary
to such ordinance, or for killing a
dog that has killed or manned a
sheep. If sued for such act, he may
reconvene, and if his suit prevails,
recover ten times the amount of
damages done by the dog to his
sheep, and in addition shall receive
reasonable pay for expenses, loss of
time. and attorneys fees.
"Any person injured by dog kept
contrary to such ordinance, such per-
son shall recover five times the value
of personal damages; also, all costs.
The same holds good in reference to
property SO injured.
ga sheep or lamb SO injured sub
jects the owner of the dog to the
of ten times the amount of |
damage to the sheep or lamb; also, to
the payment of all costs.
"Whoever knowingly keeps a dog |
that has killed or manned sheep, is |
guilty of misdemeanor, punishable |
by $25 fine or 80 days imprison-
ment, or both. Credible information, |
verified by oath and communicated |
to the keeper or owner of said dog, |
and strong circumstantial evidence,
rs well as the personal experience of |
such owner or keeper, shall consti-
tute knowledge. A prosecution shall |
not bar civil proceeding, nor shall a |
civil procedure bar prosecution.

THE wet and dry" editors of the
Atlanta Constitution give their opinion to
the world on the subject of "Why At
lanta Went Wet. " Mr.. Evan F..
Powell, the wet editor, SAYS:
The prohibition law had been tried
for two years and it had proved a fall
ure. The prohibitionists claim that it
did not have fair trial. The constant
agitation of prohibition for years has
been the only bad result have noted
so far rs it effects the city. There were
certainly large quantities of liquor
brought into the city every day from
neighboring cities, and the large major
ity given for anti-prohibition was not
only protest against the law, but
against the strife and bitterness engend-
cred in the first campaign. am GER
tain that the conservative men on both
sides will come together and throw
around the retail sale of liquor all neces-
sary restraints and that il will be better
for the city. The part the women took
in the election at the polls has been
greatly exaggerated.
Henry ". Grady, the dry" editor,
SAYS:
III, -.-7oato f-rtTe prohibition was not
unexpected. From first TO last the ne
groes were almost solidly against it.
Much of this was due TO the influence of
Yellowstone Kit, a rich and shrewd
medicine vender worshipped by the
negroes, who spoke night after night at
the anti-meetings, and carried on the
shoulder. of the negro men. The part
taken in the campaign by the ladies
was not significant. Prohibition was
not beaten on its merits. The law was
too extreme, it being impossible TO get
even medicinal or sacramental wine
without violating it. Its administration
has been often unwise. Had it not
been for these things the undeniable
good it worked would have overcome
even the great negro majority against

In fighting for that the leaders Of the
two factions will probably unite on a
ticket of the best men in the city, and

no editorial position in the contest, will
urge a union of the best elements Of

II is reported from Washington that
the Democrats are very uneasy about
what the Republican senators are going
10 do in regard to the seating of David
Turpie, Of Indiana, who comes with the
governors certificate as senator to sue
coed Harrison. The certificate is signed
by the governor, lieutenant governor
and secretary of state. 1t should also
bear the signatures of the speaker and
CLERK of the house and the secretary of
state. The plan of Senator Hoar is to
object to the swearing in of Turpie on
the ground that his certificate is illegal.
The Democrats, it is said, will object to
the swearing in of all the new senators
unless Turpie is seated. Turpie has
drawn the senatorial salary since last
March, President Ingalls,, of the senate,
thinking that he was justified in permit
ting this by reason of the fact that Tur-
pie had the governors certificate, which
is always regarded as prima facie evil
dence of an election.
